in fact, we have a debt ceiling vote tomorrow. we're not voting to raise the debt ceiling, mr. speaker. we're voting to suspend it. i think this is bad policy because i think that markets, business people and everybody else needs to know that the congress is going to stand by the credit rating and the debts of the american people. we're not going to default. we shouldn't threaten that we are, mr. speaker. it's bad. it's not a good thing to do. mr. speaker, it's important for the american people to know that when we talk about raising the debt ceiling, congress is not approving new spending. we're not borrowing -- we're saying that we're going to pay the bills on debts we already acquired. mr. speaker, it's kind of like this. if you have a family and somehow you have a mortgage to pay, you've already obligated to pay a mortgage, now, if you don't have the money for your mortgage, you may have to go to your cousin, your brother, your uncle and say, i need you to help me until next week so you can pay the mortgage. now you borrow money to an obligation you already owe. and if you

when then senator obama voted against racing the debt ceiling he said he was doing so because the national debt was at an outrageous $8 trillion. i want to quote the president saying $8 trillion, that's trillion with a t. it is now over $16 trillion and climbing. he's not worried about it at all. indeed he calls it progress. you remember his campaign slogen. he says it is forward. i've got news for the president. if washington's debt is going forward, america's economy is going backward. instead of magging government we need to lead america to a place where she can become the land of opportunity. where she can become the place of growth and opportunity. we should put all of our eggs in that basket as conservatives and republicans. we need folks to stop this president from taking america so far off the ledge that we cannot get back. we must stop the bankrupting of our federal government. but we as conservatives must dedicate our energies to growing the economy to showing younger generations on winning the future. we need to grow the middle class. that doesn't line government. if more govern
